I always thought vinyl was better and only reluctantly got into CDs because
a) I bought a CD player as a gift for a friend only to find he's just gotten himself one, and
b) they just took LPs off the shelves and forced us to buy CDs. Which I REALLY resented.
About a year ago I took a flier on a cheap used Oppo to see what SACDs were about. Now I have to say that I have some SACDs and DVD-As that sound better than vinyl and some that don't. I have one Blu Ray audio disc that sounds amazing, even compared to it's DVD-A version.
Not into HR downloads yet.
